Congenital granular cell lesion (CGCL) is well known to appear as the congenital epulis, predominantly on the median maxillary alveolar ridge. This lesion rarely occurs on the tongue, and only 7 cases, including 4 cases with simultaneous occurrence on the alveolar ridge, have been reported in the English literature. In this report, we report a case of congenital granular cell lesion seen on the tongue. The patient was a 7-day-old Japanese girl who presented with a polypoid mass on the anterior ventral surface near the tip of the tongue. The lesion was excised at 4 months, and its histological examination revealed large granular cells. Immunochemical staining by S-100 was negative, and it was diagnosed as congenital granular cell lesion.
先天性颗粒细胞病变(CGCL)以先天性龈瘤形式出现,主要位于上颌中切牙牙槽嵴,这是广为人知的。该病变很少发生于舌部,英文文献中仅报道过7例,其中4例同时发生于牙槽嵴。在本报告中,我们报告1例发生于舌部的先天性颗粒细胞病变。患者为一名7日龄日本女孩,舌前部腹侧近舌尖处有一息肉样肿物。病变于4个月时切除,组织学检查显示有大的颗粒细胞。S-100免疫化学染色为阴性,诊断为先天性颗粒细胞病变。
